(VPS 090701-0, 07/01/2009), Outbound message X-Antivirus-Status: Clean David, I've heard of many Turbo's failing and I firmly believe that fail from too much heat and overspinning in thin air IMHO. The answer is to restrict the exhaust before it gets to the turbo with a bypass system and only allow the exhaust you want to get to the turbo. This puts the turbo further down stream and therefore cooler. George (down under) > The rebuild isn't for aviation application. Just a turbo swap into a > project truck.
